Some Of These Webmasters Are Getting Creative

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I was browsing Sitepoint today and saw this auction going. I thought it was a pretty funny site idea. Check it out.

Make Sure You Upgrade Your Wordpress

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Yesterday, my personal blog got hacked. I think there is some kind of Wordpress exploit for this version. Tonight I plan to upgrade to the latest version which hopefully will keep me out of trouble. Also I really need to start backing up my sites more regularly. You can’t afford to have a harddrive go […]

Some Interest In Counter Strike

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I received a message from someone yesterday who was interested in purchasing the Counter Strike site. They were interested in the site from the previous sale that I won. He asked me about some of the earnings stats. I told him I was looking for offers somewhere around $20,000+. I don’t think he’ll go for […]

Escrow.com Review - Avoid Getting Scammed

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Escrow.com appears to be the service to use when transacting a website. Looking at many of the auctions on Sitepoint, you can just tell some of them are scammers. You will definitely want some protection as a buyer since you will have little recourse if you use another method to purchase.
In case you don’t […]

Private Link Sales Review

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

I mentioned last week that I had submitted a couple of my sites to Private Link Sales. Since PLS is a new link marketplace, I really wasn’t expecting much, but it didn’t cost anything, so I figured it was worth a try. Over the weekend, someone sent me a $20 paypal for my first link […]

Counter Strike Website Earnings Update

Friday, July 13th, 2007

I have finally been approved for all the ad networks and placed all their ads on my site. When I purchased the Counter Strike website a couple weeks ago, it was earning an average of $24/day in June all from Adsense.
Yesterday I earned $78.48 from the website. I admit, that I think the daily average […]

Tribal Fusion - Counter Strike Update

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

OK, I guess its true what they say, a phone call is worth a thousand emails. (Actually I just made that up.) I called my account manager at Tribal Fusion and she got me set up right away with their ads on the Counter Strike site. Things are really rolling now. I have been accepted […]

Adding Kontera - Counter Strike Update

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Last night I placed the Kontera codes on the Counter Strike site. For my other site, Kontera has been running at about 30-50% of adsense. It hasn’t greatly impacted adsense earnings however, and thats the nice thing. It does make me wonder though, how many clicks on Kontera are legitimate advertisement interest versus misclicks. If […]

Less Is More With Adsense

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

Adsense has been really kind to me since I made those ad size changes. The highest earning day I had before the changes was $27. That was a Saturday. Gaming related traffic seems to peak on a Saturday. Last Saturday I pulled down $47 through adsense. I have been doing some reading, and apparently its […]

Private Link Sales

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

I just entered a couple of my sites on this link sales listing. I don’t know if I’ll make any money off this. There appears to be a lot of people listing sales, but I don’t know how many buyers are browsing the listings. At the very least it appears I will get a free […]
